After realizing that this issue was indeed the last issue of the Heavenly Scroll, Kangxi, like Zhu Houzhao, asked Lei Xiaomeng for a timetable for future major events.

Since there is no way to get more detailed information, the timeline of major events is equivalent to a prediction of the future. For example, the ambiguous predictions in the “Tui Bei Tu” handed down from the Tang Dynasty have driven many people crazy!

Although Lei Xiaomeng had never compiled a timeline of major events from the suppression of the Three Feudatories to the end of the Qing Dynasty, she had downloaded a brief history of the Qing Dynasty, which should be equivalent to a timeline of major events. So Lei Xiaomeng immediately replied:

[Reply to @全科霸再活五百年received, will arrange it immediately! ]

Seeing that she had replied, Kangxi also quickly replied:
[Reply to @我@全科学霸再生活５百年: Please also send me a copy of the bicycle manufacturing drawings! ]

The third message was from Zhu Yuanzhang. He was indeed very lucky. After all the bad luck in the early days, his luck in leaving messages or participating in lotteries in Tianjuan became better and better.

But just when his luck was getting better, the Heavenly Scroll was about to disappear, making him feel that it wasn’t so good anymore.
[@子控凶残老父: Grandma, you are untrustworthy. I still have many questions for you. ]

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had countless questions he wanted to ask Lei Xiaomeng, at this moment, when there was only one question left, he didn’t know what to ask.

It was clearly a complaint, but somehow, Lei Xiaomeng saw reluctance in Zhu Yuanzhang’s message. Thinking of this “old father” who had been paying attention to her from the beginning to now, she felt a little reluctant. But things have to start and end.

She had reviewed everything up to this point, and there was really nothing left to review, so she decided to end it here. But she also had to take the fans’ feelings into consideration, and immediately replied:
[Reply to @子控凶残老父: Haha …

The fourth is Emperor Xuanzong of Tang:
【V@虎头蛇尾李三郎: Grandmother, is everything you said true? Why do I feel like I’m dreaming? The future of my Tang Dynasty that you talked about, is the Tang Dynasty under my rule really going to experience war and disaster? 】

Lei Xiaomeng shook his head secretly in his heart:
[Reply to @虎头蛇尾李三郎先生, everything the uploader said is true historical events, how could it be false? The uploader only hopes that you can continue to keep a clear mind in the early days of your administration, and not let the beautiful Tang Dynasty be destroyed by war! ]

Emperor Tang Minghuang, who had stayed up all night to review memorials, immediately perked up when he saw Tianjuan’s answer and ordered, “Li Shi, bring me another cup of ginseng tea!”

Upon hearing this, Gao Lishi immediately brought up the ginseng tea that was simmering on the fire. Seeing the memorials still piled high on the table, he advised distressedly: “Your Majesty, it’s already three o’clock in the morning, you should rest. Some of the memorials will be the same if you review them tomorrow.”

“No, Li Shi!” He looked up at Tian Juan, “I dare not slack off for a day, otherwise I will have nightmares even if I lie on the bed. The nightmares are all fire, the fire of Chang’an, the fire of the Tang Dynasty, all red!”

He probably had to make some changes to the Jiedushi system of the Tang Dynasty in advance, so how could he not be busy?
Another person who was lucky enough to be on the message board in the last issue was @不合时宜新青年, but his message was a poem.

【@不合时宜新青年: Fine grape wine in a luminous cup, the pipa music is urging me to drink. I asked how much a cup cost, but they said 180 per cup! 】

His message was very abrupt and many emperors did not understand what it meant. However, several emperors after the Tang Dynasty found it somewhat surprising.

Aren’t the first two lines of this poem from “Liangzhou Ci” by Wang Han of the Tang Dynasty? How could Wang Mang just say it casually? And the last two lines seem out of place, and the parallelism is not neat, as if they were deliberately added.
No matter how it sounds, it sounds like… it sounds like a code word.

But Lei Xiaomeng understood after seeing it. It was obvious that this untimely young man was acting as a “reputable” Wang Mang, so he smiled and agreed:
[Reply to @不合时宜新青年 I understand. It turns out that you have confirmed what the online literature community has been speculating about. I am so envious! ]

The two of them were talking in a charade, causing the emperors of all planes to look at them sideways. But before they could figure out the reason, Lei Xiaomeng’s reply to the sixth message appeared on the Heavenly Scroll.

【V@Sun and Moon in the Sky Holy Maitreya Mother Queen: Can women in the future be as willful and capable as Grandma? 】

Speaking of this, Lei Xiaomeng has a lot to say.

[Reply 1 @日月当空圣神麦勒母皇 Since the Tang Dynasty, the status of women has become worse and worse, and there have been more and more restrictions on women. But since the end of the dynasty, especially in the new China, the status of women has become the same as that of men. ]

[Reply 2: Women and men receive equal education, participate equally in all kinds of social life and work, and have completely equal rights at home.]

[Reply 3: Women can study freely, fall in love freely, and try the jobs they like freely. However, the inertia of male superiority and female inferiority formed over thousands of years still has a significant impact on many backward areas.]

【Reply 4 continued However, as the average years of education for people over 9 years old has reached more than 5 years, this impact has become smaller and smaller. 】【Reply continued Even decades ago, when New China was just established, women’s liberation was already in full swing. Since then, women have been able to hold up half the sky. The liberation of women’s labor force has also further promoted the development of productivity! 】

[Reply 6 to the previous sentence: Women today have gotten rid of the period of being appendages of men. As long as they want, they can freely display their own value and show their own personality! ]

Seeing the end, Wu Zetian’s mouth corners were raised high. If she could live in that era, then no matter what she did, whether she did it well or not, she would not be criticized by the world because of her identity as a woman.

As a woman, can’t I be stronger than men?
She doesn’t agree!
Empress Wu of Tang Gaozong was also overwhelmed by Tianjuan’s words, while Emperor Gaozong stared at Tianjuan in a trance. Shangguan Yi was even more stunned.

But after her surging emotions calmed down, Empress Wu looked at Shangguan Yi and said coldly: “Shangguan Yi, you instigated the emperor and empress, forged an imperial edict and plotted treason, do you know your crime?”

Shangguan Yi was stunned, his face changed drastically, he looked at Gaozong again, but saw that the latter was still frowning, and had no intention of helping him explain, so he knew that he had become cannon fodder in the quarrel between the first couple of the Tang Dynasty. His face immediately turned pale.

Empress Wu did not wait for his or Emperor Gaozong’s reply, but ordered: “Come here, take Shangguan Yi to the Dali Temple immediately and wait for his punishment!”

Shangguan Yi did not resist. Of course he knew that resistance was useless. He could only kowtow heavily to Emperor Gaozong and was taken away without saying a word.

Seeing him being taken away, Empress Wu was still not satisfied. She looked at Emperor Gaozong and said, “Shangguan Yi is so audacious that he forged an imperial edict to plot treason. According to the law, he should be executed along with his entire clan!”
Emperor Gaozong was shocked when he heard this: “Mei Niang, Lord Shangguan has always been loyal, you must not do this!”

“So, if Shangguan Yi doesn’t die, Your Majesty wants me to die?” Empress Wu stared straight into his eyes with a sad face, “I have walked with Your Majesty till today, is it just for you to depose me?”
“Mei Niang, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that what the scroll said was too horrifying. For the sake of the foundation of our Great Tang…”

“For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, you have to give up this concubine of mine, just like you gave up Queen Wang and my uncle?” Empress Wu was about to cry. “The ministers all think that I am overbearing, but if it weren’t for Your Majesty, why would I do this?”

“Now that everything has settled, Your Majesty no longer needs me. You want to depose me and continue to be your wise ruler and kind father, right?” Empress Wu looked compassionate.

“Don’t blame it all on the Heavenly Scroll. Even if there is no Heavenly Scroll, Your Majesty, ask yourself, have you wanted to do this a long time ago?”

Under Empress Wu’s questioning, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was defeated and shook his head and sighed, “Why would I think so? Forget it, the Empress can do whatever she wants with regard to Shangguan Yi!”

Empress Wu slowly let out a sigh of relief, straightened her back, suppressed the sadness on her face, and ordered: “Shangguan Yi’s lies have misled the people and he intended to forge an imperial edict to plot treason. He should be executed along with his entire clan.”

Seeing that she was still going to kill Shangguan Yi’s entire clan, Emperor Gaozong couldn’t bear it after all. His expression changed slightly, and he finally made a decision:
“The Shangguan family has made great contributions to the country. I cannot bear to execute their entire clan. I will allow them to commit suicide. Of course, the rest of the Shangguan family, the male members will be exiled to Lingnan, and the female members will all be taken into the palace as slaves…”

After saying this, Li Zhi paused for a moment before looking at Empress Wu and asking, “How is it?”

Empress Wu knew that this was the emperor’s biggest concession, so she gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll do as your majesty wishes.”
Killing Shangguan Yi could also deter the court officials from making a fuss about this matter. Otherwise, she would suffer endless troubles.

Gaozong sighed softly and said, “Then draft an edict and have the Secretariat issue it with its seal.”
After issuing the decree, Emperor Gaozong seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden and pinched his brows with his fingers: “Mei Niang, my head hurts so much, can you help me rub it?”

Empress Wu curled her lips, a cold look flashed in her eyes, but her face remained unchanged. She bowed to him and said, “I still have to prepare for the silkworm ceremony, so why not let Concubine Zhao give Your Majesty a massage.”
Concubine Zhao was one of Emperor Gaozong’s favorite concubines recently, so how could Empress Wu not know about it?

Emperor Gaozong of Tang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “No need, I’ll let the eunuch come!”

“Then I will take my leave!”
Empress Wu bowed and retreated decisively, without even glancing at Tianjuan from beginning to end.

At this time, Tianjuan had already replied to the seventh message:
[V@逍遥散人玉真仙子: Is the imperial concubine really a beauty that brings disaster? Will An Lushan really rebel? Will the Tang Dynasty really fall into war? I don’t believe it! ]
